Is that Rocket for rent?

[jthree]

Dropped off a buddy at Eagle Rider in Vegas on Friday (I was in town for a trade show). To my amazement there was a Rocket (Roadster) parked outside in amongst all the HDs.
While my buddy was signing away his life savings for a one day rental, I got chatting with the staff. "Is that Rocket for rent?" I asked with a grin, kind of anticipating the answer. "Are you F'in kidding?" was the response. "I don't think anyone would rent out one of those things. They're nuts!" "Yeah I know... I own one " I said

I then got chatting with the guy that owned it. He was an employee. Turned out he'd just bought it (it was a 2010) The grin on his face was enough to convince anyone he was happy with his purchase.

Hey Dustin. Great to meet and chat. Enjoy the ride. I assume it's a little warmer than the week I was there. Crazy cold, for Vegas at least
